House Democrats are asking the Trump administration to send a clear message reminding the nation’s public schools that, despite recent changes in federal immigration enforcement policy, they are still legally obligated to educate undocumented children. The representatives expressed concern that the educational rights of undocumented students may be overlooked as the new administration cracks down on those in the country illegally. The Supreme Court ruled 25 years ago that U.S. public schools must serve all children, regardless of their i...
Teachers on the job for at least five years would be exempt from paying state income taxes under a bill that aims to increase the number of teachers entering and staying in the profession. Senate Bill 807, or the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Act, is part of a series of bills lawmakers are currently proposing to help ease California’s teacher shortage. http://www.montereyherald.com/article/NF/20170402/NEWS/170409978...
A growing chorus of educators reaffirms that diversity in the teaching ranks benefits all students. There's just one problem: Even as student populations become more diverse, the teaching force remains stubbornly homogeneous. In the Buffalo Public Schools, for example, although 67 percent of students are black or Hispanic, 85 percent of teachers are white. http://buffalonews.com/2017/04/02/buffalo-looks-classrooms-add-diversity-teaching-force/...
School integration cooperatives around the metro are unraveling as school districts withdraw from them, signaling a shift from broad, collective desegregation efforts to more focused actions within individual schools and districts. Edina and Hopkins are the latest two school districts to break from the West Metro Education Program (WMEP). The partnership, formed in 1989 to desegregate metro area schools, once counted 11 member school districts, but it could soon be down to six: Robbinsdale, St. Anthony-New Brighton, St. Louis Park, Wayzata,...
It’s an election decades in the making. In 1995, the New Jersey Department of Education seized control of Newark Public Schools after the state’s high court determined it was necessary to rescue a system plagued by poor test scores, questionable spending, and crumbling facilities. https://www.the74million.org/article/newark-voters-gear-up-for-last-school-board-race-before-state-is-set-to-return-district-to-local-control...
The Republican-led Minnesota Legislature took a big step Friday toward another showdown with Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton over education funding and policy. The Minnesota House approved $273 million in new education funding Friday with a 75-54 vote. Next week, the Senate is expected to debate a slightly larger bill with $300 million in new spending. http://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/2017/04/house-approves-education-funding-273-million-bill-passes-governor-dayton-wants-more/...
An oversized red bandanna covers her small head of brown hair. She’s missing a tooth. She stands in front of flowery green and gold wallpaper, her cherubic face exuding warmth and innocence. It’s this image her mother clings to in her darkest moments. “I can’t let her grow up without a mother,” writes Alice Blessing, who painted her 7-year-old daughter’s portrait. “So I have to get better.” http://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-multimedia-show-aims-to-break-the-stigma-of-suicide/417709573/...
Mediation efforts this week failed to settle a major tax dispute between the state and Enbridge Energy, so cases involving tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue will head to court. Enbridge Energy has appealed five years of property taxes, saying the Minnesota Department of Revenue overvalued its massive pipeline system. If Enbridge wins its appeals, some northern Minnesota counties and local governments will be on the hook for potentially budget-busting tax refunds. http://www.startribune.com/enbridge-state-fail-to-re...
BISMARCK, N.D. — Prolonged protests in North Dakota have failed to stop the flow of oil through the Dakota Access pipeline, at least for now, but they have provided inspiration and a blueprint for protests against pipelines in other states. The months of demonstrations that sought to halt the four-state pipeline have largely died off with the February clearing of the main protest camp and the completion of the pipeline, which will soon be moving oil from North Dakota to a distribution point in Illinois. http://billingsgazett...

ON THE BAKED sands of northern Mexico, barefoot tribeswomen chant and dance in clouds of incense, calling on the eagle to save them from US President Donald Trump’s border wall. The US-Mexico frontier runs through more than just the deserts of Sonora and Arizona. For the Tohono O’odham with their eagle totem, it divides their people. http://www.thejournal.ie/tohono-tribe-mexico-wall-trump-3312574-Apr2017/...
The town of Whiteclay, Neb., has a population of 14 people. Its four liquor stores sell 4 million cans of beer each year, mostly to residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation, which is officially dry and right across the state line. The effort to close the Whiteclay stores has spanned decades. But there's an assault on two fronts, including one from a minister who's looking to buy the stores. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2017/04/02/pastor-raises-money-to-buy-out-liquor-stores-near-reservation...
American Indians have risen to prominence as the new darlings of the environmental movement, but while they appreciate the help, they also are fighting to make sure they don't become tokens of activists. Even though there is room for collaboration, Jade Begay, spokeswoman for the Indigenous Environmental Network, representing tribes in their legal fights against President Trump's recent pipeline approvals, said there is a bright line between what the tribes are trying to accomplish and what climate change groups and conservation activists are...
